   LOS ANGELES – Prominent California Democratic Party donor Edward   
   Buck has been charged with operating a drug den after injecting   
   a man with methamphetamine in his West Hollywood home where two   
   other men previously died of apparent overdoses, prosecutors   
   said.   
      
   Buck, who donated to former President Barack Obama and 2016   
   Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, is a well-known   
   activist in California politics.   
      
   Buck’s attorney, Seymour Amster, declined comment.   
      
   Buck, 65, was arrested on Tuesday by Los Angeles County   
   sheriff’s deputies and held on bail of $4 million, according to   
   online inmate records.   
      
   He was not expected to appear in court for an arraignment before   
   Thursday, said Greg Risling, a spokesman for the Los Angeles   
   County District Attorney’s Office.   
      
   Buck made headlines earlier this year after a man was found dead   
   at his West Hollywood apartment on Jan. 7, less than two years   
   after another man died there.   
      
   They died of apparent methamphetamine overdoses, the Los Angeles   
   County District Attorney’s Office said in court papers. Both men   
   were African-American. Buck is white.   
      
   Amster, following the second death, told the Los Angeles Times   
   in an article published in March that his client had a “heart of   
   gold” and brought troubled people into his home to offer them   
   help.   
      
   “Still not deterred despite two deaths in his apartment, Buck   
   persisted in his malevolent behavior,” prosecutors said in the   
   court papers, in which they requested his bail amount remain at   
   $4 million.   
      
   Prosecutors said that on Sept. 11, Buck injected methamphetamine   
   into a 37-year-old man identified as Joe Doe, who overdosed but   
   survived after fleeing the apartment. At one point, Buck tried   
   to stop the man from getting help, they said.   
      
   Buck was charged on Tuesday with one felony count each of   
   battery causing serious injury, administering methamphetamine   
   and maintaining a drug house.   
      
   Buck “preys on men made vulnerable by addiction and   
   homelessness” and he “manipulates his victims into participating   
   in his sexual fetishes,” prosecutors said in court papers.   
      
   “I remain deeply concerned for the safety of people whose life   
   circumstances may make them more vulnerable to criminal   
   predators,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey   
   said in a statement.   
      
   U.S. Representative Karen Bass, a Democrat from California, said   
   in a statement that Buck’s arrest was “too little, too late”   
   because nothing was done in the immediate aftermath of the   
   deaths of two black men at his home.   
      
   “The inaction in response had a message that was loud and clear:   
   Black gay lives obviously didn’t matter,” Bass said.   
      
   Buck, if convicted of the charges against him, faces a possible   
   maximum sentence of five years and eight months in state prison.
